What you lot resort to when you can't even get a turkey: https://www.nytimes.com/2024/12/17/s...cannibals.html

This seems really incompetent -

Because -

1. Surely regulators can only suppress growth.

2. Are not politicians supposed to have the ideas already.

3. Asking business people would be more sensible.

4. Growth will not happen because Labour does not like people becoming wealthy.

5. Perhaps the reason for low growth in the UK is that even the Tories are too socialist - giving big handouts to the lazy and feckless enabling them to live warm, well-fed, comfortable, and fully entertained.

How about a modern version of the Workhouse - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Workhouse

The work-factory or work-warehouse for single adults up to retirement age.

Given the standard of living in Victorian times, the Workhouse was not so bad -

Four square meters of floor in a tepidly warm warehouse, two basic meals a day, no screens. If you work you can get a room, better food, etc.

Edit: Do not Workhouses embody what Labour stands for - everyone must be made equal, the state runs everything, and everyone lives off handouts?

"Workhouse Britain" to coin a phrase.

I think the idea is to ask them what they can stop doing.

The next time I vote, I will vote to get Labour out.

There are two alternatives - Tories or Reform.

Normally I would vote Tory. I and all my friends and relatives used to be habitual unthinking Labour voters. I was also a member of the Labour Party for a few years. But experience (realism rather than idealism, reality rather than fiction) has taught me that socialism and communism do not work.

I would only vote Reform if I was sure they were not smiling racists or fascists, and they were economically able. I assume and hope they would support a freer market where the taxation system encourages people to become wealthy.
